Max strategy positions

Beware that this limit cannot be strictly enforced by TradersPost. For example, if you send two signals to execute two trades for two different tickers at the exact same time and your max strategy positions is set to 1, then it is possible that both trades will be executed and you end up with two positions. This is because the limit is checked before the trades are executed, and the trades are executed in parallel instead of one at a time.

TradersPost counts each unique ticker symbol as an open position. This includes both currently held positions and any open orders that would create new positions. The limit is based on the number of unique ticker symbols, not the quantity of shares or contracts within each position.
